Anybody do zinc plating here? Options

[JimmyG]

Working on getting my engine parts together for the rebuild and need a half dozen or so parts done and all the stuff I see locally is large or massive part number platers.I just need a little done and looked in the vendor spot with no success. Is there somebody trustworthy that does this for our 914 restos?

I recently used :
Commercial Electro Plating
1937 S Cherry Avenue
Fresno, CA 93721-3305

$154 total
Shipping to them: $17

Zinc plating: $75 minimum charge (sounds like whatever fits into a 5 gallon bucket is the same price)

Oven bake afterwards: $50 minimum (they did the entire batch, only needed to high stress parts if you sent them all brackets and non-critical bolts no need for it)

Shipping back to me: $12

I sent them this:


and this is how they came back:

Like I said.. Not that difficult to send to a plater directly.

Wonder the price difference ??????

We could only determine that knowing how much time he has in prep, what his time is worth and how many times it will have to be re-plated to equal the longevity of my plating.
